King Baabu By Wole Soyinka (a play in the manner, roughly, of Alfred Jarry)
When General Uzi's military government is overthrown by coup d'etait expert General Basha, the African nation of Guatana declares itself 'Democratic'. Well ... 'democratic' until the next military coup d'etait.
Sup on spit roasted game, indulge the vices of semi literate toadies, loot a few public funds and nibble on a spot of torture for dessert as Zimbabwe's acclaimed Over The Edge Theatre Company recreate Nobel Laureate Wole Soyinka's hysterical Africanisation of Jarry's Ubu Roi.
